Question about coke addicts/ addictions...

I am new to this site and I just wanted to get some feed back on a question that has been on my mind. I could never ask my friends this so I figured I would ask it on here.
I'm 28 years old and have been using cocaine on and off for about the past two years now, maybe a little longer. However I only use it when I go out with friends to parties or small gatherings; which to be honest is usually two weekends out of the month. It is definitely my choice to use when I do but I am never excessive with it. I do drink liquor when I use the coke but I don't do anything else. Sometimes weeks or a month have gone by and I will not have used or even had a desire to get any coke. My using has never affected my job or my relationships (family or personal). So with that being said, I my question is... Though I don't use coke that often and I don't crave it, would I still be considered an addict or just a kid having a little fun every now and again? The reason I am asking this question is because I was with my coworkers recently and they began discussing someone who they all knew who openly uses cocaine. They all spoke very badly about him. Somehow after about 15 minutes of listening to their judgmental rant I found myself chiming in, castigating him right along with them though I use cocaine myself sporadically. After the conversation had ended and we separated I felt very hypocritical, which in turn brought about other feelings of self doubt and self reflection. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated to assist me in finding some perspective right now. I can’t lie… I’m a little lost. I was so sure of whom I was before that conversation and now I feel that I don’t fully recognize myself. Thanks in advance. Posted on 05/06/09, 01:05 am |

only you can indicate whether or not you are an addict. it is a thin line between abuse/use. you will know when you become homeless, in jail, or dead. or maybe you are just a social user?

I don't think you are an addict by the way you described your use. Like another poster stated, there is USE then there is ABUSE. You are not abusing coke right now, you are using occasionally. But the problem with this is that over time, if you continue to play around with it, it could potentially be turn from use to abuse. My use was just use for a decade or so but eventually it did turn to abuse so I think with enough time, it turns to abuse for everyone with continued use.
